Chapter 187 See the elders
After taking Gu Xingzhi and Gu Xiaowan back to Panlong Town, Wu Ming quickly launched his plan. Du Yutong had already done almost the same for Wu Ming to help Wu Ming with the previous preparations. Everything was smooth sailing. Soon Wu Ming's new restaurant opened.???????
This restaurant does not engage in promotion, and will not do promotions, because "I earn money from rich people" and all I rely on is the connections of the Du family that Du Yutong found.
It was already a lot of trouble to name this restaurant. After thinking about it, Wu Ming couldn't think of any good name. It either sounded too rustic or too vulgar, and in the end it still depends on Du Yutong.
"Ask the room!" Du Yutong said.
Wu Ming frowned: "Is this too awkward?"
Du Yutong smiled and shook her head: "The beauty shines on Cuichun and asks each other, the fairy couple is moving in the same boat late at night. Such a wonderful scene, I just want to use this as the name of a restaurant, but it's a pity that I, Du Yutong, are poor and can't afford to open a restaurant, so I can only rely on your boss Wu's light."
Wu Ming burst out laughing: "You girl, if you are a poor man, there will be no rich people in the world. Okay, these two lines of poetry really taste a little bit. I'll tell you what I mean, it's called Xiangwenguan."
On the day of the opening of the Xiangwen Pavilion, Du Yutong invited many famous guests. Huang Xiaomao stood at the door with Wu Ming to welcome guests. Du Yutong kept introducing.
"This is Director Chen of the Municipal Education Bureau..."
"This is Director Song of the Provincial Publishing Administration..."
"This is Director Gu of the Provincial Audit Department..."
"This is Chairman Gao of Xianming Group..."
"This is President Feng of Ruida Group..."
Listening to the well-known names, Wu Ming felt like he was dreaming. These people were all well-known figures in this province. Unexpectedly, his restaurant opened and he invited so many people.
But thinking about it makes me feel relieved. You must know that Wu Ming's restaurant takes a small and exquisite high-end route, with an area of about 400 square meters in total. The private room is larger than the hall. Not to mention the money for selling restaurants, it costs nearly 10 million yuan just to decorate. Including the labor cost of the kitchen, this restaurant is comparable to a golden restaurant.
Especially in the back kitchen, Wu Ming invited the dignified Michelin three-star chef Gu Xingzhi. Although Gu Xingzhi is not very famous in the public's mind, it is well-known in these high-end circles. Wu Ming even found that among the people who seem to have visited here for the first time, more people know Gu Xingzhi than Wu Ming.
However, Wu Ming also acted foolishly and gave Gu Xingzhi the name of "Executive Chef". What is "Executive Chef"? That is, when you are in a good mood, just sit behind and stare at others cooking.
People of this level sometimes have more valuable brands than their skills.
As for other chefs, from second chefs to ordinary chefs, and finally to those who wash dishes and small potatoes, they are all original teams from five-star hotel kitchens. Such a preparation is definitely worthy of today's guest lineup.
Although Wu Ming's consulting restaurant is not full for three days, there are always many people coming to visit. In Du Yutong's words, no matter how much money this restaurant can make you, in short, relying on the popularity this restaurant brings you to the gathering will be enough for you, Wu Ming to eat and use it in the future.
Du Yutong was right. In a few days, there were a lot of phone calls in Wu Ming's phone book. Any of these names popped up, and they were all loud people in the province. Now they have become Wu Ming's friends.
friend!
What is this? In the future, Wu Ming will be in the province, no matter where he goes, he will be able to pat his chest and say that this building belongs to my buddies, that the hotel is run by my friend, and that... Oh, that's the provincial government, it doesn't matter, I have many acquaintances there.
This effect is indeed much more effective than earning a little 80 cents.
A week later, Du Yutong suddenly found Wu Ming: "Wu Ming, I have an important guest today. Can you accompany me to see me?"
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment. Du Yutong had never spoken to herself in such a polite tone. However, since Du Yutong spoke, Wu Ming would certainly not refuse. He slapped his chest: "Okay, see, let's find a better restaurant, I'll treat you... Hey, it seems that the best restaurant in the whole city is the one I opened... Haha, that's OK, today I will leave the best private room for you to treat you. How about it, you're so proud of your face."
Du Yutong smiled slightly: "In the afternoon, change your clothes and dress up more energetic."
Wu Ming was a little confused: "Why did I need to change my clothes? Isn't this outfit good? This suit costs several thousand yuan."
Du Yutong had no choice but to: "Okay, don't stay in the court in the morning. I'll accompany you to buy a piece of clothing."
In the morning, Du Yutong took Wu Ming and bought a suit worth tens of thousands of yuan in the best shopping mall in the city. Wu Ming felt distressed, but he still had to pretend to be indifferent in front of Du Yutong.
Du Yutong was amused by Wu Ming's appearance: "You guy, you are so distressed, right? I tell you that you performed well today and this suit is definitely worth the money."
Soon, it was the time that Du Yutong agreed to. Wu Ming was wearing a brand new suit and stood at the door with Du Yutong. Soon, he saw an old-fashioned car driving over.
"Here you!" Du Yutong screamed: "They are here early, Wu Ming, hurry up and prepare."
Wu Ming frowned, thinking about what kind of distinguished guest it was that would make Du Yutong so nervous, but looking at the car they drove, it should be just that. This car looks old and just like an old car.
Du Yutong glared at Wu Ming and immediately guessed Wu Ming's thoughts: "Old hat, don't think about it. This is a limited edition red flag. It was made by the founding leader. Don't look at this car that is old or not. Even if you have money, you don't want to ride it."
As he was talking, the car door opened. Wu Ming saw Du Yujie at first sight.
Du Yujie! And Du Yujie is still respectfully opening the car door for the people inside.
Wu Ming immediately understood that the person who came to visit today was not someone else, but the elders of Du Yutong and their family!
No wonder he drove such a classic car that the founding leaders had taken. This is called low-key luxury. Wu Ming's calves were a little trembling: "Yutong, why didn't you tell me earlier that you are your elders? I didn't do anything to prepare..."
Wu Ming's voice was trembling, and Du Yutong laughed: "Stinky Wu Ming, let you laugh at me again. You know you are nervous now? Okay, don't worry, what do you need to prepare? I'll prepare everything you need to prepare for you, just be respectful in a while."
After saying that, Du Yutong pulled Wu Ming up and saw a legal and eye-catching old man walking down from the car. Du Yutong called sweetly: "Second Grandpa."
The old man smiled and nodded: "Tongtong, you little girl are getting more and more tricks now. I originally said that I would go directly to the restroom of the provincial military region to see my old comrades and have dinner with them. Their chefs are also good. You insist on letting me come here. This... I asked the restaurant, what's the best?"
Du Yutong smiled slightly: "You will know in a while. This is the best restaurant in the local area. Come on, let me introduce it. This is the boss here, Wu Ming, Wu Ming, this is my second grandfather, Du Qishan."
Wu Ming quickly bent down and bowed: "Hello Grandpa Du."
"Okay, young man, you are not my grandson, just call me Mr. Du." Du Qishan said calmly: "Let's go and see what the level of this question museum is."
At this time, another person got out of the car. Wu Ming was stunned for a moment and almost shouted: "It's Feng Long!"
Feng Long! Wu Ming's biggest rival actually came here in a car with Du Qishan and Du Yutong's second grandfather, this...
No, right, this person's eyebrows and eyes do look very similar to Feng Long, but they are definitely not Feng Long.
Du Yutong quickly pulled Wu Ming; "Wu Ming, this is our city's **********, Mr. Feng Hu and Mr. Feng."
Wu Ming frowned. As expected, he had heard that Feng Long had a younger brother, who was the local ********* and Feng Long's biggest protective umbrella. No wonder Feng Long can be rampant locally.
This guy actually came with Du Qishan. I think he should be the local local official who specially receives such senior officials.
The visitor was a guest, and Wu Ming also smiled and nodded at Feng Hu: "Secretary Feng, please."
The group walked into the private room of Xiangwen Hall, and Du Qishan took a sip of tea: "Yutong, what is your relationship with Wu Ming?"
Wu Ming was shocked and even though he was beaten to death, he could not have thought that Du Qishan came to the consultation hall. The first thing he said was that he actually asked about this matter. Du Yutong whined: "Second Grandpa, don't ask random questions, we are friends."
"Friend? Little girl, are you lying to me?" Du Qishan laughed: "When you laugh, your favorite poem is 'The beauty picks up the green spring and asks each other, and the fairy couple changes their boats together at night'. He also said that you will open a restaurant in the future, called Xiangwen Hall.
Now your identity is naturally inconvenient to open a restaurant. I see that Mr. Wu invested tens of millions to open this restaurant to fulfill your childhood dream. I am afraid it is not as simple as a friend."
What a guy, this Du Qishan is really an old man!
Du Yutong's face turned red: "Grandpa II, it's really not... Oh by the way, this is the menu, Grandpa II, take a look..."
"Okay, I eat the rice cooked by Chef Yuquanshan every day, and that's all." Du Qishan said: "You can order me whatever you want. By the way, young man, your name is Wu Ming, right?"
Wu Ming nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Du."
"Do you like our Tongtong?" Du Qishan asked.
Wu Ming frowned. How could he say this? Although he and Du Yutong have a good impression of each other and the two of them are tacit, they have not broken the window paper now. If he and Du Qishan were chatting alone, it would be better to say it. The key is that Du Yutong is by his side now, so how can he be embarrassed to say this?
While thinking, Wu Ming looked at Du Yutong, but he was surprised to find that Du Yutong was looking at him with anticipation, as if he was urging him to give a positive answer.
